Nursing homes across Wayne County, Ohio, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Wooster Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on 7.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 83% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 28.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in January 2024. City-owned and small at 22 beds, it pairs that staffing with 5/5 ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.
Apostolic Christian Home in Rittman, Ohio is a 75-bed nonprofit run by a church, and it holds a four-star health inspection rating from CMS. Staffing is its main strength: 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, and turnover at 31.2% is well below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative tend to stay. That consistency matters more than most families realize. The tradeoffs: weekend staffing drops about 13% from weekday levels, and the current record includes seven deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. A February 2025 inspection is recent, so the record reflects the home as it operates now.
Country Pointe runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and only four deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, with a recent March 2025 survey. Staffing is where the picture gets more mixed. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, this 42-bed for-profit home sits about 16% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 7% leaner than weekdays. That gap matters in a small building where there's less margin to absorb a callout. One genuine bright spot: turnover at 31% is well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. Ask how weekend coverage is actually staffed.
Doylestown Health Care Center runs 78 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 50.8% against a 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was September 12, 2024. Its quality measure score is perfect at 5/5, but a 2/5 inspection rating and 3/5 on staffing tell a different story, strong charted outcomes on top of thin, churning coverage and a documented compliance history.
Wayne County Care Center runs on county taxpayer money, and the staffing numbers mostly hold up, 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average. But that average hides a weekend problem: coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level, which is when falls and infections tend to happen. The bigger concern is a 58% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, and 12 deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last out in November 2024 and rated health inspections 4 out of 5.
Smithville Western runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 34.6%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was in July 2024. What holds the record back is the inspection history: 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $42,777 fine. For-profit corporate ownership. The quality and staffing scores look strong on paper, so the real question is whether the care gaps that produced those 38 findings have actually been fixed.
Burbank Parke runs lean on nursing hours, 3.48 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends thin out further, roughly 19 percent below what the building staffs on weekdays. That pattern matters more than the raw headcount, since gaps tend to show up when fewer people are watching. The tradeoff is stability: turnover sits at 29.2 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Twenty-two deficiencies sit on the current record, none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the last full inspection was in late 2023. Corporate-owned, 81 beds. Ask about weekend coverage and who actually answers the call light on a Sunday.
Autumnwood runs on a split record that's worth understanding before you visit. Its quality measure rating is a perfect 5 out of 5, yet inspections sit at 1 out of 5, with 32 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse. Staffing also scores 1 out of 5, despite turnover of 38.5% coming in below the national average of 45.8%, meaning the people who stay aren't necessarily enough of them. The last inspection was May 27, 2025, so the record is recent. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 75-bed home. Strong clinical numbers and weak inspection and staffing marks rarely tell the same story, and here they don't.
Avenue At Wooster runs lean on nursing hours, 3.28 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 16% below what the home staffs during the week. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. The quality measure score is strong, but it sits next to a two-star staffing rating and a two-star health inspection rating, so read the clinical numbers with that context. Turnover at 35.8% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. This is a for-profit corporate home last inspected in March 2025.
West View Healthy Living is a 93-bed nonprofit home in Wooster that just went through a fresh inspection in January 2025 and came out with a strong four-star health inspection rating. The trouble sits elsewhere: its staffing rating is one star, and 53.9% of staff turned over in a year, well above the 45.8% national average, that churn makes consistent daily care harder to deliver, which likely drags down its two-star quality measure score. Twenty deficiencies are on record, two tied to abuse, though none reached actual harm or jeopardy. A solid inspection shouldn't hide a thin, unstable workforce.
The nurse staffing number at Orrville Pointe looks fine at first glance, 3.89 hours per resident day, barely above the national average. But the mix tells a different story: weekends run about 18% thinner than weekdays, and 70.9% of staff turned over last year against a national rate of 45.8%. That churn is what the federal staffing rating is responding to, and it's the lowest score CMS gives. The health inspection record is also shaky, 24 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection in September 2024 found nothing at the harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures score well, but steady hands matter more than charts.
Accord Care Community Orrville runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, about 3.24 nurse hours per resident each day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. That gap shows up in the numbers: a one-star CMS staffing rating and 60.9% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure. Its inspection record carries 44 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. Clinical quality measures score well, but the labor side tells a different story.
Shady Lawn Nursing Home is a for-profit LLC operation in Dalton with 98 certified beds, and the numbers split sharply depending on where you look. The health inspection record is the real problem: 37 deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus five tied to abuse, and a single $40,950 fine. Staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 6% below what the home itself manages during the week. Turnover at 42.1% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here, the inspection history is.
Glendora Health Care Center runs about 49 beds in Wooster, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.34 hours per resident per day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends a bit thinner than weekdays. The bigger concern is turnover: 67.6% of staff leave annually, against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are often new and still learning the building. Inspections back that up. The home has 38 deficiencies on its current record, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a $17,080 fine. Federal inspectors last visited in September 2024.
